I dont want to sell myself short, but I dunno if Id be nearly as enterprising as you, to be able to then put it back together and be happy with it, like that. But then, for the cost of it, Im sure I would be motivated to try to fix it. Im just not so confident in my skills in actually successfully doing so, along those lines, lol.

It really can be difficult to manage a collecting while having pets. I just think of them as kids, they don't always know better but you can teach them. And you have to accept that part of owning a pet means that sometimes they willknock stuff over or break something. Thats actually what got me to start customizing and painting my more expensive stuff. My cat broke a $600 statue I had and I superglue it all back but I wasn't happy with seeing all the cracks so I looked up how other people fix this kind of stuff and after a lot of trial and error I now can pretty much recreate anything as long as I have most of the broken pieces. Now I just have to learn how to fix broken joints on figures lol

1 hour ago, sXeblues said:Oh, I feel you on keeping figures and styles together like that... I dont actually have much of my collection on display, due to a lack of having theroom or shelf spaceto do so. But, even when I have them packed away, I still tend to bracket them up in groups like that, lol.

If I had room to display everything I would but I still play with the stuff I have in the bins so its not that bad lol

6 minutes ago, sXeblues said:Thats too bad... For me, they honestly cant come out soon enough. But, Im still going to reserve my judgment, and wait and see how they actually shape up, before actively picking any up. Ive gotten so used to toylines being cancelled or switched up at this point, to take anything for granted.
